How to get rid of snails?

[ZachG]

Not long ago I went to the pet store to get some aquarium plants. The next day I saw a snail so I killed it. I thought that would be the end of that but now there are about a hundred snails in my aquarium and don’t know how to get this under control. I assume there Malaysian trumpet snails any help would be appreciated.

Yep MTS. Just pull out what you can.

Best way is manual removal as stargirl says, and to avoid overfeeding. If there’s an excess of food in your tank, the snails will multiply quickly.

You could also try the blanched lettuce leaf overnight to assist with manual removal too.

A few pest snails aren’t that bad though when their population is controlled.
